https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-buys-1m-netflix-warner-172138893.htmlDonald Trump bought at least $1m worth of bonds in Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), according to a financial disclosure form, days after he said would be involved in a proposed merger between the two companies.
The White House released a financial disclosure report on Friday which showed that Trump made two purchases from Netflix and two purchases from WBD, each amounting to at least $502,000.
Trump bought the bonds on 12 December and 16 December, a little more than a week after Netflix agreed to buy WDB in an $82.7bn deal.
The purchase is subject to regulatory clearance and is sure to raise eyebrows given Trump has said he will be engaged in that process.
